My Sunshine

Jeremih

Looking out my window
I can't help but think of you
Oh, oh
Since you've been gone away
I've been left feeling blue

No one can take
This pain away
My hours seem to turn a desert
As if I'm out of time
No more to lose
No more to gain
It seems the clouds
Can't take the rain
Cause if it keeps pouring down

But to see my sunshine again
(But to see my sunshine again)
But to see my sunshine again
(But to see my sunshine again)
But to see my sunshine again
(But to see my sunshine again)
But to see my sunshine again
But to see my sunshine again
(Again again)

Oh oh, oh oh

Looking out my window
I can't help but reminisce
The times we shared
Oh, oh
Just memories
Of you and me

I look up and
The sky is cold
How could someone
Just take your soul so so fast
Now your gone
I quit my job
I can't stop smoking
Please believe
My heart is broken, down
I'm all alone

But to see my sunshine again
(But to see my sunshine again)
But to see my sunshine again
(But to see my sunshine again)
But to see my sunshine again
(But to see my sunshine again)
But to see my sunshine again
But to see my sunshine again
(Again again)

I'm tired of the dark
In need of the light
I wake up each morning
Waiting for you to rise
I'm scared of outside
Cause it might wash me away
I wish I could open these curtains
And I'll go and see you again
I'll see you again
If I could hold you again (again)
If I could feel you again (again)
If I could touch you again (again)

Oh oh

To see my sunshine again
Just to see my sunshine again
To see my sunshine again
Just to see my sunshine again
To see my sunshine again
Just to see my sunshine again
To see my sunshine again
Oh, oh, oh

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
